The BPL weasels' insistence that they remedied all the interference that doesn't exist would qualify for a Jon Stewart Show's "moment of Zen." 73 - Kay N3KN

Hi Kay: I got the second and last flight out of BDL and arrived in Denver at 1:00am Monday. Got up at 6:00 and made it back to DIA, caught my last flight and arrived in Casper at 9:45. Needless to say it was a long two days but it was worth the trip for it was a good BOD meeting and a trip like that makes me realize how lucky I am to have the family and friends I do.

Glad everyobe got home okay. It was a rough ride, like Frank said from 12:30 on. I hit snow the same time and we went in two different directions (I chose a northerly route taking me up to the NY state thruway and down to Northern NJ from there, while Frank chose the southern route). I, too arrived home at 2:15pm. In NNJ, the second storm off of the coast didn't swing in to us, therefore we only got 10.4 inches of snow, more than enough for me!! Enjoyed time with you all.... Oh yeah.... Can we have the next January Board meeting somewhere warmer.....PLEASE?? 73, Joyce - KA2ANF ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Oppel" <andy(a)andyoppel.com> To: "arrl-odv" <arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 4:25 AM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:11793] Home At Last > I got home at 11:58 p.m. on Monday.

I got home at 11:58 p.m. on Monday. I expect Mr. Vallio was somewhat later than that. The trip home was uneventful except that I noticed Glen Campbell on our flight (of course, he was in first class). According to his web site, he played the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT on January 19-23, and probably also got delayed by the snow just as we did. 73, Andy Oppel, N6AJO Vice Director, Pacific Division, ARRL n6ajo(a)arrl.org home: (510) 864-2299 cell: (510) 910-1508

I'm very happy to say I am not in the running for the "last flake" out of BDL. After being bumped around (while I was still at the hotel, fortunately) from flight to flight and departure time to departure time, I was "lucky" to be put on a 5:40 AM flight this morning to Cincinnati. I even had great company on the way to the airport. The Reverend Shattuck and I shared the taxi. He kept the driver and me on the straight and narrow. Insofar as I was able to learn, there weren't any snow shows for the flight. It was nice to join with you all, y'all.

[ARRL-ODV:11790] Letter in TIME refutes stupid comment
by Kay Craigie 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

The January 24 issue of TIME magazine includes a letter to the editors rapping their knuckles for the earlier snotty comment in an article which said ham radio is an embarrassing hobby. The letter writer is John Raydo of Kansas City, Missouri, who appears to be ARRL member K0IZ. I've seen a scanned image of the letter but not the magazine itself. 73 - Kay N3KN (home again!)
